    Wow. These new Senators have more courage than most of the old-timers. They are not beholden to AIPAC or other lobby groups but to the people. How novel!
    Scott Colom @scott_colom
    Let me be clear: I will never take a penny from AIPAC or Super PACs that don’t put Mississippi and America first. This Senate seat belongs to the people of Mississippi. That’s who I’ll answer to.

    Talarico: "Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being." I can't wait to see this man in the Senate!

    When you listen to James Talarico, you realize that last night's results were not just a rejection of Trump and Israel's Iran war, but also a rejection of a Democratic Party led by people like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan: "I've never taken money from AIPAC, and I'm not taking money from AIPAC in this campaign. Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being" This is his message, and he won in Texas!

    Trump wants to build a massive 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery, bigger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Another monument to his ego, while Americans struggle to afford basic necessities. Retired Colonel Ann Wright joins Veterans For Peace, CODEPINK, and Third Act activists to protest the proposed construction and demand that Congress stop it before it starts.

    Any suggestions of where @LauraLoomer should consider moving, now that "America is over"? And don't say Israel because the Palestinians have enough problems...

    The death of America as we know it. Sad to see. But people will get what they deserve. You can only warn people so much. America is over and the American Dream is Dead. People will come to realize this. But it’s too late. America is over. The country is cooked.

    Senator @ChrisVanHollen would make a MUCH better Majority Leader than @SenSchumer but I think he’s more interested in running for president. So who would you like to see as Senate Leader?

    JD Vance is now acknowledging what voters made clear at the ballot box: the war in Iran came at a major political cost to Republicans. After months of defending Trump's war, Vance admits that voters want an end to the conflict, relief from rising costs, and a different relationship with Israel. But acknowledging the political consequences is not the same as calling for peace. If even the White House recognizes that Americans want this war to end, why is it still continuing?

    Election night sent a message: People are tired of endless wars, blank checks for Israel, and politicians who put weapons manufacturers ahead of their constituents. But winning elections doesn't automatically mean winning change. We can't sit back and expect Congress to deliver. We have to demand it. That's why we're heading to Washington, DC, November 10–12, for a Taxpayer Uprising! Our demands are clear: END the war in Iran. STOP funding Israel's war machine. CUT the Pentagon budget. INVEST in people's needs, not war profiteers. Stop funding war. Start funding life. Join us November 10–12!

    So delighted to see Rep. Van Orden of Wisconsin defeated. He is a violent, angry, pro-genocide creep.

    Democrats had a great win tonight. Now they have to give the American people the "wins" we deserve. End the Iran war. No $ for Israel. Abolish ICE. Medicare for all. Cut the Pentagon $ and invest it in THE PEOPLE.

    Trump says the U.S. should stop sending Israel nearly $4 billion a year in military aid. Great. But will the money really stop flowing? As direct military aid comes under scrutiny, new provisions in the NDAA could deepen U.S.-Israel weapons cooperation and channel billions more in taxpayer dollars to Israeli military industries. Ending direct aid means little if it's replaced by new forms of military subsidies. Join CODEPINK in Washington, DC, November 10–12, for the Taxpayer Uprising to demand an end to U.S. taxpayer funding for Israel's war machine.

    Trump cutting $4 billion to Israel? That's because he plans (via section 219 of the NDAA) to further deepen US-Israeli military/intelligence ties, giving Israeli companies WAY MORE than the $4 billion he says he's cutting. We must defeat section 219!
